Micromechanical Characterisation of Microstructure in Weld Heat Affected Zone of Structural Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Microstructures in the weld heat affected zone (HAZ) can cause a decrease in fracture toughness, and evaluating the effect of microstructures on fracture toughness is helpful in understanding the cause of the fracture toughness decrease. In this study, micro-sized tensile specimens were sampled from base metal and HAZ, and the mechanical properties and fracture behaviours of different steel microstructures were directly investigated by micro-sized mechanical testing.
